Today in #Mogadishu, Director General @Moshireh of the Ministry of Internal Security attended a high-level meeting for the ONS-@UNMAS Roadmap, alongside Director General Abdimalik of the Office of National Security and UNMAS Chief Fran O'Grady.

The meeting acknowledged the progress made by the Somali National Army and Somali Police Force in assuming responsibility for #C-IED, #EOD, and #WAM capabilities, while also highlighting SEMA's vital role in coordinating humanitarian mine action efforts for communities affected by explosive hazards.
